60. A Battle with No Victory

Sigh…

"I expected something like this to happen, but didn't expect it to come so fast." Kisuke shakes his head.

"They have not spotted us yet, so we still have a chance!" A member of the Uzumaki clan states.

"No… I don't think they will allow us that opportunity." The Konoha jounin points towards the shinobis of the other four shinobis who have banded together to sniff their location.

"Sooner or later, they will spot us." Kisuke shakes his head.

"However, I have no intention of going down without a fight." Kisuke accepts his fate and resolves himself for a last fight.

He takes out multiple Fuinjutsu scrolls from his pocket and makes a series of hand signs.

"At least I won't let them off so easily."

The other jounins also steel their resolve.

They also make a series of hand signs and slam their palm on the ground.

"Summoning Jutsu,"

Poof… poof… poof…

A burst of white smoke covers the entire forest, and multiple gigantic summons appears in the forest.

A giant earthen yellow armadillo, a giant porcupine, and a giant crocodile appear in the forest.

"Attack!"

The Uzumaki clan members and the Konoha jounin issue orders to their summon.

The giant armadillo curls up its body in a sphere and rolls towards the forces of the four great nations. The giant porcupine spins rapidly on the ground and shoots multiple steel-like spikes from its body. While the giant crocodile opens its giant maw and swallows multiple shinobis.

The sudden surprise assault from the group stuns the group of shinobis. The giant armadillo crushes multiple shinobis to paste while the spikes of a giant porcupine puncture the bodies of multiple shinobis.

This sudden attack catches them off guard and casualties pile up on the battlefield.

"Enemy Attack!"

However, the various captains and commanders quickly regain their composure and issue a series of orders.

"Get into the formation! Earth users erect a stone wall to block the spikes from the porcupine. Water releases users, and creates a swamp on the ground to trap the giant armadillo. Lightning user and fire user paralyze and burn the giant crocodile with the combination of lighting and fire jutsus."

A barrage of jutsus lands on the bodies of the summons and soon multiple injuries pile up on their bodies. Some of the elite shinobis from each village summon animals of their own and engage the summons of the Uzumaki clan member and Konoha members in a fight.

The elite jounins and commander use this opportunity to close the gap and assault Kisuke and his group.

"My preparations are complete!"

Kisuke lays down the scroll on the ground. He bites his thumb and drips a drop of blood on the scrolls.

Clap…

Kisuke claps his hand together.

Rumble… Rumble…

A giant fuinjutsu formation erupts from various scrolls and covers the entire battlefield. A bright light glows from the center of the seal and a gigantic demonic summons with four arms and three heads appears on the battlefield.

Kisuke slams his palm on the top of the giant demon and plants a command seal on top of its head.

Shiing…

The giant demon opens its eyes and a crimson gleam flash past its eyes. It wields four different weapons and releases a war cry.

ROOOAARR…

The battle cry of the demon disrupts the senses of the weaker shinobis and traps them in a genjutsu.

'Demonic Wail of Sorrow,'

Kisuke murmurs as he commands the giant demon to attack the commanders.

Metal B and the rest of the elite jounins and commander quickly dispel the genjutsu.

"I will fight against this giant monster. The rest of you surround and kill the remaining members."

Metal B takes the lead in the battle.

Blub… Glub… Blub…

Dark red chakra seeps out from Metal B's body. The dark red chakra envelope Metal B in a cloak.

ROOOAAR…

The giant demon releases another roar and slams its giant club toward Metal B's location.

Whoosh…

Metal B vanishes from its position and swiftly appears in another place. The giant demon spots it and swings its giant sword to slash him in half.

Whoosh…

Metal B jumps in mid-air and narrowly avoids the slash. The giant sword cleaves through the forest and cleans the entire forest in a radius of around three hundred meters. The shockwaves from the slash travel further ahead and wipe out half a kilometer radius of the area in the vicinity of the battlefield.

BANG…

A punch lands on Metal B's body and sends him flying across the forest. Metal B slams into a nearby hill from the impact.

ROOOARRR…

The giant demon roars and turns its attention toward the rest of the summons. It swings its giant club and smashes the carapace of a giant crab.

Poof…

The giant crab vanishes into a puff of white smoke.

"Scorch Release: Great Steaming Explosive Blast,"

The commander of the Sunagakure's team makes a series of hand signs and generates multiple scarlet flaming orbs. He combines multiple small orbs into a single orb and slams it on the back of the giant demon while the demon is fighting against the summons.

BOOM…

A powerful scorching blast of heat erupts at the point of the impact. Heatwaves spread across the battlefield and scorches the back of the giant demon. The giant orb burns the armor on the demon's body and brutally scorches its body.

ROOARRR…

The giant demon releases a cry of agony and falls on its knees from the impact.

The commander of Kirigakure uses this opportunity and ambushes Kisuke.

Whoosh…

He conceals in the shadow of the demon and appears beside Kisuke.

"Die!"

The Kiri commander swings a blade toward Kisuke's neck.

"I was waiting for you!" Kisuke turns towards the Kiri commander.

Fwoosh…

A fuinjutsu formation appears beneath the Kiri commander and binds him to a place.

"Shadow Sealing Bind,"

Kisuke swings the sword in his hand and aims it at the neck of the commander.

Slash…

The sword chops off the arm of Kiri commander as a giant tongue pulls wraps around his body and pulls him away.

The giant demon regains its mobility and slams its club on top of the chameleon that pulled the Kiri commander away.

Poof…

The chameleon is squashed to death under the devastating blow and its body vanishes into a puff of white smoke.

The Kiri silently mourns the death of his summon while celebrating his escape from the near-death encounter.

"This is the chance!"

The Iwa commander learns from the mistake of the Kiri commander and ambushes the giant demon instead of Kisuke.

"Earth Release: Fissure of Doom,"

He slams his palm on the ground.

Rumble… Rumble…

A giant fissure spanning a few hundred meters splits open the ground. The unsuspecting giant demon falls into the crevice.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow River,"

He makes another series of hand signs and spews out a large amount of mud from his mouth to fill the fissure.

"Solidify!"

The Iwa commander clasps his hand and solidifies the ground, effectively trapping it in the ground.

"Did we do it?"

The Suna commander asks in trepidation.

RUMBLE… RUMBLE…

The ground beneath them quakes and trembles. A giant hand erupts from the ground.

"It's trying to escape!" The expression of the captain turns pale.

"I won't let you!"

The Kiri commander who lost a hand earlier stares at the giant hand in fury.

Swish… swish… swish…

He makes a series of quick one-hand signs to the great surprise of the rest of the shinobis.

"One hand signs?!"

"Water Release: Water Wave Cutter,"

The Kiri commander spews out a high-pressure jet of water that cleaves through the nearby ground and the giant hand of the demon.

Bang…

The giant arm of the demon falls to the ground.

Spurt…

A fountain of blood erupts from the stump.

ROOOOAAARR…

The demon releases a cry of immense agony and pain.

RUMBLE… RUMBLE…

The shaking of the earth intensifies. Multiple cracks appear on the ground.

BOOM…

With a loud explosion, a giant leap out of the ground. The eyes of the giant demon turn scarlet as it gazes at the Kiri shinobi.

A third eye opens in the middle of its forehead.

"Petrifying Gaze of Doom,"

The third eye glows with a blinding light and casts a curse mark on the Kiri shinobi. The curse marks paralyze him with fear as the senses of the Kiri shinobi are affected by a powerful genjutsu.

ROOOARRR.

The giant demon slams his club on top of the Kiri shinobi and smashes him into a meat paste.

Squash…

The entrails and bones of the Kiri shinobi spray all over the ground. He couldn't be any deader than this.

The Suna and Iwa shinobis gulp their saliva in fear and gaze at Kisuke with trepidation. However, Kisuke is also in a similar situation to them. His hairs are disheveled, and he has spent a considerable amount of chakra to summon this giant demon.

This giant demon summons is one of his trump cards. It was subdued by the ancestors of the Uzumaki clan and was banished into the other dimension before signing a contract with it.

If left alone, this demon will give in to its wild urges and rampage. However, the command seal can seal its free will and allow the summoner to control its movements. However, this also considerably lowers the combat prowess of the demon.
